On the bright side, the canes and leaves look plump enough that the plant will have the reserve energy necessary to grow new roots (I really believe she'll pull through just fine!). How you deal with the issue really depends on what you have in your supplies. I would cut the bad roots, do a 15 minute dip in a Physan solution to kill any fungus/bacteria and allow the plant to dry out at least overnight. Then, I would soak the plant in a KLN solution (or treat with another rooting hormone) and pot it up in fresh media. My ideas might be a little overboard though!
